edwards hand – sheriff myras lincoln lyrics

sheriff myras lincoln, he said he was the law
and the law said “keep them n+ggers down”
sheriff myras lincoln, he never told a lie
but he advertised his hatred on his face
sheriff myras lincoln
sheriff myras lincoln

the citizens of springfield
they looked up to lincoln’s law
because he kept a peaceful town
and the only price that he asked for peace
was keeping the people down
sheriff myras lincoln
sheriff myras lincoln

old hezеkiah, he was reading books
down on hovel hill
hе and his, they were biding time
waiting for the day
when myras lincoln would die

into springfield came a stranger on a train
and he could find no place to stay
hezekiah took him in like one of his own
and the sheriff, he kept his hand upon his gun
sheriff myras lincoln, he kept his hand upon his gun
sheriff myras lincoln
ooh the stranger had the gift of words
and the people, they had the need
and hezekiah, oh he saw his chance
and the stranger told them
that his presence in their town
was not entirely due to chance

sheriff myras lincoln fed his friends with drink and hate
and he hinted at a blind eye he could turn
so they waited for the nighttime to close them round
and they drank to myras lincoln and his town
and it was “here’s to myras lincoln
here’s to good old myras lincoln”

on a dark night in springfield
the stranger met his death
and hezekiah and his people grieved
sheriff myras lincoln, he quietly closed the case
went on home and had a drink

and it was “here’s to myras lincoln
you’ve really done us proud
here’s to good old myras lincoln
here’s to sheriff myras lincoln
sheriff myras lincoln”
oh myras lincoln
sheriff myras lincoln
myras lincoln
myras lincoln
myras lincoln
myras lincoln
myras lincoln
myras lincoln
